We must change the health of the planet, economy, communities, families, and the health of our own bodies!  \n\nWe are seeing all of the above systems growing out of control like cancer. And every week I talk to individuals and organizations who have great visions to create change.  There is \u2018Roots of Change\u201d, \u201cSlow Money\u201d, SAGE, CUESA, Ecological Farming Foundation, CAFF, Brentwood Ag and Land Trust, MALT, and many, many more.  Lots of yearnings and gestures. \n\nJust two days ago 2 young men came to Frog Hollow to brainstorm and get ideas to help them build a model for their vision- \u201cWe\u2019re starting a new company to change the way food and agricultural system works in the world.  We\u2019d like to create a world where people are more connected to farmers, chefs, and the food producers.\u201d  Throughout my discussion with these idealistic young tech guys, I kept thinking, we already have an exciting model to accomplish all of the above- The CSA Model.  Not the watered down version which most CSA\u2019s have become\u2026\u2026..produce buyers\u2019 clubs.  \n\nIt\u2019s a CSA with members who eat consciously, for their own health, but also eat knowing that by spending their food dollars with a local farm, they are doing so much more\u2013 as you may have discerned, this is a subject I\u2019m passionate about.  In the weeks and months to come, I\u2019ll be elaborating a lot more on how you, the CSA member, can become more engaged and connected\u2013 with our farm, your food, the soil, the earth.  \n\nWith Hope, \n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/assets\/FarmerAlSig.gif\" alt=\"Signature of Farmer Al\" width=\"250\" \/>\n\n\n\n<b>Happy Child CSA News<\/b> \n\nEvent:  \nWe\u2019re thrilled to be hosting Katie McDermott here in Brentwood at Frog Hollow Farm!
